"Improved combat, a plethora of new mechanics and areas, and an emotional continuation of the story that The Blind Forest started makes this a must play for fans of the original game."
Metroidvania Breakdown
Mechanically the combat is nearly perfect, however there just isn't enough variety in the combat content to push it into ''Greatness.''
Phenomenal variety in the challenges with many different ways to approach each of them.
A good percentage of the game is basically optional, giving you plenty of meaningful treasures to find
Puzzle Platforming is taken to the next level compared to the first game, with even a few riddles to solve
Ori's journey is made a more personal this time around, especially if you're familiar with the events of the first game
The bloom effect and explosions can take a little getting used to when in the action, but I don't think I need to mention that overall the graphics are gorgeous
Orchestrated soundtrack is as epic as it is always appropriate for a given scene. Generally creates a relaxing atmosphere.
The new Spirit Shard equip system is flexible, there are a few weapon options, and the last half of the game can be done in any order.
